Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Another mixture of incompetence and malice. Employee credit cards are easier to track than an endless stream of checks, and correspondingly they're cheaper because you need less admin work and employees spend less time in arduous request/reimbursement processes.
